Book Description:
Lauren Madison’s life started unraveling
at a speed too fast for her to keep up with. Every truth she had taken for
granted was torn away, and the pieces that were left painted no clear pictures
at all…only more confusion.
The only pillar of strength in her
fragile life was David Wagner, her bodyguard who was placed in witness
protection. But, what had he seen that day, and why couldn’t she remember?
She had no choice but to run. And if her
life was threatened again, who would be there to protect her?

Excerpt:
“You shouldn’t be here,
Lauren. Leave quickly.” The voice
stopped me in my tracks. It was
David’s voice, in my head. But, I
shrugged it off and walked forward until I saw the new stone and the rectangle
of earth in front of it that had noticeably less pine needles than the
surrounding area.
I knelt beside it.
“David Alan Wagner. Beloved Son, Brother and Friend.” The lines of the letters were etched
deep and black, contrasting heavily against the light grey stone. I gently lay the roses down and traced
the letters with my finger. There
was a cross carved below the words.
I ran my hand along the entire edge of the top of the stone, feeling the
rough edges in contrast to the freshly polished front and back. I wondered how long the stone had been
there. Dad assured me he had taken
care of the funeral expenses, and he must have made sure there was a rush order
on the headstone. There was a
fresh bouquet of white roses lying at the base of the stone and it made me feel
deeply saddened for his family, as well as for him. As much as dad irritated the living hell out of me with his
overprotective gestures, if I had to disappear forever and have him think I was
dead, it would break my heart.
After we lost mom, we were all the family we had.
I loved David with my
whole heart. Even though we had
only been together for two of the six months that he was assigned to me, I knew
that he was the “one”. I just knew
it. There was no explanation. And, I was the “one” for him as
well. But, now he was gone, and it
was unlikely that I would see him again, at least not any time soon.
I reached up to trace
the “D” again and saw a strange light flash across the polished surface of the
stone, which I realized with horror to be a set of headlights.
Who would be coming to a
graveyard at this hour? Besides me of course? Teenagers with a Ouija board and
bottle of Strawberry Hill wine in tow, perhaps?
I could take no
chances. I could have been
followed.
